Summary: Finally, A "How To" book for interns!
Review: Take the experience of a twenty year TV veteran, the journey of a 22 year old student who went from TV intern to TV producer in less than a year and add in advice, comments and stories from over 100 television executives (including the Programming Chief of MTV, A Producer from The Today Show, A Reporter from CBS This Morning, A Marketing Executive from Disney, and an Associate Producer from Oprah) and you have the ideal guide for anyone considering interning their way to a media career.We know that everyone has different expectations of interns, so we included the thoughts of over 100 industry members from all over the country. We know that besides loving the industry it's also important to love the lifestyle attached to it, so we included stories and guidance from those who love the TV life and those who left it. We know that interns sometimes become frustrated making coffee and being at the bottom rung, so to let them know they are not the first to feel that way, w! e added the stories of what executives did when they were the office intern. You will hear how the developer of SOUTH PARK was once carrying 110 pound bowling pins in 100 degree heat, and how the Head of Talent for E! Entertainment Television made a slight coffee error that left her only minutes to get coffee stains out of the carpet before the boss's morning arrival. We wanted to be sure that anyone who read this book entered their internship fully prepared and ready to conquer: Prepare to rule the world!

This is the bible for prospective interns and no student should be without one.

Review: This book is a gold mine for any college student who is the least bit apprehensive about entering the work force from the bottom. The solid, true to life advice comes from people who have already scratched their way to the top after starting out specializing in coffee and telephones.
